Below are the remaining setup deadlines for the year and what is due by the setup deadline. Note that there are two street dates per setup deadline: one for music titles, and one for non-music video titles. The music street date applies to CDs, music DVD and music Blu-ray. Video requires a longer lead time than music.

Assets Required by the Setup Deadline

MVD requires the following by the setup deadline. We cannot setup your title if we don’t receive all of these assets by the setup deadline.

  • Front cover art: A high-res (1400 pixels wide), flat (not 3-D or box view) JPG of the front cover art. This must be the final cover art customers see on shelves (not the poster or other promotional artwork) and should not include DVD logos, CD logos or credit blocks.
  • A great setup: Help MVD better sell your title by providing the following:
    • Synopsis: 400 words describing the who, what, where, why and when. A strong synopsis includes:
      • Intro: Key info should be in the first 2 sentences. State exactly what the product is. Film, documentary or performance? If a performance, where and when filmed?
      • Product-Specific Info: What does it include? Hit songs, special interviews or a performance from a notable actor?
      • Background Info: Why is this artist or film/documentary relevant?
      • Conclusion: What is the benefit of owning this?
    • Tagline: A quick, 120 character summary of the title.
    • Extras: Bonus features, such as trailers, outtakes or commentary.
    • Press Quotes: Brief excerpts from strong reviews.
    • Sales Points: Selling points such as why relevant, special guests, an upcoming tour/release or a marketing push accompanying the release.
    • Trailer or Clip: Provide a YouTube ID for the trailer or a SoundCloud URL for an audio clip.
    • Track Listing: For music-related titles.
    • Verify important details, including: title name, format, genre, SRP, run time and number of discs.
    • Examples of well setup titles: Music-related DVD, CD, Documentary
  • If MVD is manufacturing your title, we also need print-ready production art and masters by the setup deadline.
  • If MVD is releasing a digital version of your title, we also need a digital master and digital art by the setup deadline.
